stimata

Stimata is a term that appears in Latin and Italian, formed as a feminine form of a past participle or adjective derived from the verb stimare or from the Latin stimatus, meaning to esteem, value, or estimate. Its use and function differ between languages, but in both cases it relates to estimation or valuation.

In Latin, stimatus (masculine), stimata (feminine), and stimatum (neuter) are the perfect passive participle forms of the verb stimare or stimo, with the sense of “esteemed,” “valued,” or “estimated.” The form stimata is the feminine singular and can also appear as the neuter plural in certain syntactic contexts, where it can function adjectivally or substantively. In Latin texts, stimata may modify a feminine noun such as res stimata “the valued thing” or, in neuter plural usage, res stimata “the valued things.” The form thus marks agreement with the noun it describes.

In Italian, stimata is the feminine singular past participle of the verb stimare, meaning “estimated” or “esteemed.” It agrees with feminine nouns, for example: la somma stimata (the estimated amount). The related forms include stimato (masculine singular), stimate (feminine plural), and stimati (masculine plural). Beyond its use as a participle, stimata can function as an adjective expressing valuation or estimation in various contexts, particularly in administrative, financial, or evaluative language.

Outside of Latin and Italian, stimata does not correspond to a widely recognized technical term. Its significance is chiefly linguistic, reflecting gendered participial forms tied to estimation and valuation in Romance and classical languages.
